Seven dangerous insurance coverage gaps that leave Alabama families exposed: sewer backup, flood exclusions, underinsured motorist gaps, and more. Free coverage gap review from TCDS.
Despite having insurance, many Alabama families face unexpected financial risks due to common coverage gaps that standard policies often overlook. These gaps can leave you vulnerable to costly damages and losses, such as sewer backup, flood damage, or underinsured motorist accidents. For example, most homeowners insurance policies exclude flood coverage, which is critical in Alabama’s flood-prone areas. Sewer backup damage, another frequent exclusion, can cost an average homeowner between $5,000 and $15,000 in repairs if uninsured. Recognizing these gaps is essential to ensuring comprehensive protection.
One of the most overlooked gaps is underinsured motorist coverage. In Alabama, where 1 in 5 drivers are uninsured or underinsured, this coverage can protect you from out-of-pocket expenses after an accident. Additionally, many policies exclude damage from sewer or drain backups unless a rider is added, which typically costs between $30 and $50 annually but can save thousands in repair costs. Flood insurance is another critical gap since Alabama’s National Flood Insurance Program premiums average around $700 per year, a small price compared to potential flood damage.
